Amazing food tour - Lisa was brilliant and had plenty of knowledge and kept us entertained throughout the food and drink was lovely and we left feeling full. Would definitely recommend as we would not have seen all the beautiful side streets and food places otherwise!!

Great introduction to Rome - This was such a great way to start our trip to Rome. Having Lisa show us and our three teenage boys around was like visiting with an old friend. Her knowledge of the area and the food itself made us more brave and interested in trying new things for the duration of our trip.

Great food tour! - My husband and I take food tours everywhere we go and this had to have been the best so far. We had so much fun with our guide, Lisa. She gave us great suggestions on things to do and places to go, not to mention the actual food tour itself! We left full of great food and felt like we knew so much more about the Monti area in Rome.

Fantastic - Lisa was a fantastic host. I couldn’t recommend this tour more! She was excellent in showing us all the food stops, but also giving us some invaluable information about being in Rome along the way. There was a perfect amount of food, and we went back to some of the places she pointed out the following day. Lisa is someone who clearly loves what she does. Thank you Lisa.

Fun, tasty tour in Monti - Lisa (an American transplant who has lived here for about 10 years) was an absolute delight and full of information! We learned not only about local foods but also customs, sayings, traditions. Would highly recommend!

Fun tour - It was very educational. We were in Rome before and never new about this area. A lot of charm and history here. The guide Lisa Starr was super! Knowledgeable and great presenter

Foodie adventure in Monti - Had a wonderful time with our great food tour guide, Lisa! It was a group of 6 people, and she made sure she was including all of us in the discussions. I wish we would have done this tour earlier in our trip, since Lisa gave us so much insider traveler tips when visiting Rome! We had amazing apps at a local mom and pop shop, a taste of Rome style suppli, two different pasta dishes AND Gelato! Lisa took time and explained how to cook each italian dish also. Fantastic tour in the small neighborhood of Monti and would recommend to all foodies!!

Highway robbery - The description promised “lunch and dinner”; in actuality, the experience lasted 2 and 1/2 hours, with 4 stops: a Calabrian grocery (while we are n Rome), a suppli/steet food shop, a trattoria, and a gelateria. At the trattoria we requested to sit outside (quintessenttial Roman activity) but we’re denied. The wines served during the tour were bad table wines. In total the food and drinks could not have cost more than 20 euros. While the tour guide, Lisa, was friendly and jovial, the tour is a rip off.
